Featuring a simple crochet steek, this cardigan is an ideal project for anyone wanting to explore the art of steeking without feeling intimidated. The unique asymmetric fastening combined with top-down set-in sleeves creates a stunningly simple yet chic finish that you will love to wear.

This beautiful cardigan is worked in the round from the bottom up, showcasing delicate seaweed ribbing that gracefully flows along the front panels.
